Octahydroxyanthraquinone is an
organic compound with formula C
14H
8O
10, formally derived from
anthraquinone by replacement of 8
hydrogen atoms by
hydroxyl groups.
The compound was obtained in 1911 by Georg von Georgievics [1] [2] and can be obtained through oxidation of rufigallol ( 1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydroxyanthraquinone) with boric acid and mercuric oxide in sulfuric acid at 250 °C (482 °F). [3]
Esters of octahydroxyanthraquinone, where all eight hydroxyls are replaced by straight-chain 1-alkanecarboxylate groups H
3C-(CH
2)n-COO-, with n between 6 and 14, are
liquid crystals and have been studied for possible
LCD applications.
[3]
Octahydroxyanthraquinone is active against the malaria parasite, but rufigallol (1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydroxyanthraquinone) is 22 times more potent. [4]
